Ben Case: Hurricanes Primed For Best Early Start In Years As Blues Come To Town Tonight will mark the first set of back-to-back games for the Carolina Hurricanes (4-3-1). They are coming off a strong 6-3 win at Toronto and will look to keep the offense rolling against the St. Louis Blues (7-2-1). The win was very timely for the Hurricanes as they were able to avoid their first three-game losing streak this season.

This is the best record through the first 8 games that the Hurricanes have had since 2008-2009.

Very true and encouraging statistic. They won 4 in ten games in 2015-16. I'd like to see them be a minimum of .500 through ten. 5 in ten with the early schedule would be positive.

Yep. They've got games in hand now, so it's time to use them.

95 points is the goal as far as I can tell. They're on pace for 91 right now. a run of 3 or 4 wins would work wonders.

Agree with all of that. Hopefully Rangers and Canadiens keep struggling too.

If it matters to you all, Prosser isn't likely to play as Gunnarsson should be back after the birth of his child. Hutton will get the start in net.

Beau Bennett looks like he will be in for his second game of the year.

Keep up the good work Ben.

Thanks for the heads up about the third pair. I missed that Gunnarsson had missed the most recent game because of a new addition to the family. Congrats to him on a healthy new family member.

Saw that Hutton was starting. Hurricanes continue to draw back-ups pretty regularly. Imagine this trend will continue until they consistently make teams pay.

Hopefully, Bennett can find his stride again and stay healthy for the Blues. As a Devils fan, I was hoping he'd provide a bit more than he did last year but also was sad to see him go. Maybe he can hold off on finding a rhythm tonight though.

Bennett's play Wednesday night looked like a guy who wouldn't change the game much either way. Didn't do anything dumb that would cost you a goal but didn't look like he would be able to generate a lot of offense either. Some of the guys he has replaced (Jaskin and Barbashev) were roller coaster players with the valleys being a lot longer than the peaks.
